All the things that I needed And wasted my chances I have found myself wanting When a mother and father Gave me their problems I accepted them all Nothing ever expected I was rejected But I came back for more

And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky Where a boy rides on a bike but never smiles And my ashes fall on all the things we said On a box of a photographs under the bed

I will stay in my own world Under the covers I will feel safe inside A kiss that will burn me And cure me of dreaming I was always returning

And my ashes find a way beyond the fog And return to save the child that I forgot And my ashes fade among the things unseen And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales Never ending clouds of rain and distant sails

A good impression of myself Not much to conceal I'm saying nothing But I'm saying nothing with feel

I simply am not here no way I... Shut up be happy stop whining please

And because of who we are We react in mock surprise The curse of "there must be more" So don't breathe here, don't leave your bags

I simply am not here no way I... Shut up be happy stop whining please

***

The dust in my soul makes me feel the weight in my legs My head in the clouds and I'm zoning out I'm watching TV but I find it hard to stay conscious I'm totally bored but I can't switch off

Only apathy from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity It's all in me, all in you Only MTV and cod philosophy

We're lost in the mall, shuffling through the stores like zombies Well what is the point? What can money buy? My hands on a gun and I find the range, God tempt me Well what did you say? Think I'm passing out

Only apathy from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity It's all in me, all in you Only MTV and cod philosophy

***

Water so warm that day I counted out the waves As they broke into surf I smiled into the sun

The water so warm that day I was counting out the waves And I followed their short life As they broke on the shoreline I could see you But I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen There's black across the sun

Out at the train tracks I dream of escape But a song comes onto my ipod And I realise it's getting late

I can't take the staring and the sympathy And I don't like the questions: "How do you feel?" "How's it going in school?" "Do you wanna talk about it?"

Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish

I'll try to forget you And I know that I will In a thousand years Or maybe a week I'll burn all your pictures Cut out your face

And the shutters a down and the curtains are closed And I've covered my tracks Disposed of the car And I'll try to forget even your name And the way that you look when you're sleeping And dreaming of this...

Let's sleep together right now Relieve the pressure somehow Switch off the future right now Let's leave forever

This is fate This is your escape Leave here now Leave here like it's over

Let's sleep together right now Relieve the pressure somehow Switch off the future right now Let's leave forever
